WINDSOR, Ont. — Saginaw Spirit goalie Jake Paterson stopped all 38 shots that he faced on Thursday, leading to a 2-0 Ontario Hockey League victory over the Windsor Spitfires.

After a scoreless first period, the Spirit took a 2-0 lead on second-period goals by Dylan Sadowy and Nick Moutrey. Sadowy’s 16th goal of the year was set up by Michael Holmes and Devon Paliani, while Moutrey’s 14th goal came from Jesse Barwell.

The Spitfires cut the deficit to one less than a minute into the final period on Jamie Lewiss’ goal, but couldn’t get the equalizer despite outshooting the Spirit 38-28 on the night.

Saginaw (14-15-1-1) remains on the road for a 7:05 p.m. game with the Sarnia Sting tonight.
